When questioned about Aion’s performance in Korea and China, Blazier showed his satisfaction. He said Aion has met their expectations in Korea and China. Within days of its release, Aion rapidly became the most popular MMO in Korea, a high-competitive and MMO-fanatical market, with hundreds of thousands of concurrent Aion users every day. And in China, their partner Shanda announced over a million paying Aion Gold customers within the first week. In just a short period, Aion has become one of the most popular MMOs in the world, and continues to grow.
Generally, highly anticipated MMOGs will usually first be tested and published in the western market, but Aion is an exception. Blazier said it is because Aion was developed in Korea so it seemed natural to release it there first. They also didn't want to rush its release in the West. It was important to them that enough time was allocated to the localization process.
Another famous MMO World of Warcraft allows players to add UI plug-in, and that is one of the reasons for hardcore players to stay. When questioned about whether Aion also allow user-created UI, Blazier said they feel that the Aion dev team has done a fantastic job of taking popular options from other games and putting them in Aion. With Aion quest system, they have dictionary terms that will describe for you places, people and creatures that are needed for the quest. In many cases in this dictionary entry, you can click the ‘locate' button in the UI that puts a waypoint on your map and mini-radar that indicates where you need to go. There are many examples of additions like this that are built right into Aion so all players have access to it without having to hunt and install plug-ins.
Blazier said they aren't simply doing a direct translation from Korean to English, French and German - it goes much deeper than that. They have a team of published fantasy writers who are spending a tremendous amount of time reworking the lore and dialogue so that it is culturally relevant to the Western market and making sure we provide a sense of familiarity to the user. Gameplay and all core mechanics will remain the same - it's important to them that the game stays true to the original designer's intent. We all hope Aion’s western launch will be successful. And we want every player to enjoy this game to its fullest. We have large number of Aion Kinah ready. In case you need any, we can do a immediate delivery. Good luck!
